Allegations of sexual misconduct against ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan are still under review by the court’s executive branch. A memo to staff stated that no decisions have been made on the allegations, which were detailed in a confidential fact-finding report submitted by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services.

The ICC Chief Prosecutor has stepped aside temporarily pending an investigation into accusations of a non-consensual sexual relationship with a lawyer in his office. Khan rejects the allegations of wrongdoing.

This investigation coincided with US sanctions against Khan and other court prosecutors for their role in investigating Israeli war crimes in Gaza, leading to the indictment of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The ICC, which has 125 member countries, faces an existential crisis due to these sanctions and the loss of its most prominent official.
